The Rotary Club of Beverly Hills welcomed Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath to the podium last week. Horvath, a member of the Beverly Hills club, began the May 8 luncheon address by thanking those in the audience who supported her journey from West Hollywood City Councilmember to the powerful Board of Supervisors. Last November, Horvath narrowly defeated former state Sen. Bob Hertzberg in a race that attracted statewide attention.
Horvath began her speech on a popular note, the transfer of the historic Virginia Robinson Gardens from the county to local stewardship by the city. Horvath’s efforts to obtain that result were acknowledged with applause.
